Since you appear to be in the menu realm, you could use the [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/JoinServer]JoinServer[/url] function.

[QUOTE=meharryp;47603825]Printing it just returns the IP without the "" around it.[/QUOTE]

It seems RunConsoleCommand doesn't pass the port.

] lua_run_cl RunConsoleCommand( "connect", "185.38.148.13:27215" )
Network: IP 169.254.113.123, mode MP, dedicated No, ports 27015 SV / 27005 CL
Bad server address ("185.38.148.13:27215")

[meharryp]

It refuses to connect even without the port:
[lua]
] lua_run_menu RunConsoleCommand( 'connect','185.38.148.13' )
Bad server address ("185.38.148.13")
[/lua]

That would be because there isn't a server on the default port I'm guessing.

[meharryp]

Tried connecting to my local srcds and it still didn't work.

[Willox]

It's because RunConsoleCommand re-creates the argstr with your parameters (with quotes), which is what the connect command uses.

There's other functions in the menu state meant for this, traverse _G and look.

Did you try using the JoinServer function provided above?

Didn't think of that, not really done much in the menu state previously.

Try [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/RawConsoleCommand]Global.RawConsoleCommand[/url]

Note you put the command as one string, "connect ip:port" not "connect", "ip:port".

Or use the built in one, but for future reference if you have problems with any other commands.

I have an entity that plays a series of sounds when pressed, one after the other using timers.( if you happen to know a better method to make sounds play one after the other please let me know ). Anyways, I want it to be where if its pressed , it stops playing the old sequence of sounds from the last press ad restarts them. Im pretty sure entity:stopsound wont help me.

Can I get some help on this weird behavior with my rock?

AddCSLuaFile()

ENT.Spawnable			= true

ENT.Base = "base_gmodentity"
ENT.Type = "anim"

function ENT:Initialize()

	self:SetCollisionGroup(COLLISION_GROUP_INTERACTIVE  )
	
	self:SetModel( "models/props/cs_militia/militiarock05.mdl" )
	self:PhysicsInit( SOLID_VPHYSICS )
	self:SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS )
	self:SetSolid( SOLID_VPHYSICS )
 
    local phys = self:GetPhysicsObject()
	if phys:IsValid() then
		phys:Wake()
	end

If I remember correctly its because your initializing the physics on the client when you should only do it serverside.
Add "if CLIENT then return end" after "function ENT:Initialize()" and it should fix it

Is there a way to disable the rendering of entities and props in a render view?

[PortalGod]

Is there an easy way to get a player to spectate something but keep the actual player where they were and frozen? I don't think Player:Lock/Freeze would work because you wouldn't be able to rotate the view but maybe it could work mixed with [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/StartCommand]GM/StartCommand[/url]?

How can I make some sort of cursor on the 3D2D panel? More specifically, how can I convert the HitPos of the player's EyeTrace into an x and y so that I can display a cursor where the player is looking on the 3D2D panel.

[Thunderkill]

Seems like i was ignored last time:

How can i retrieve entities nearest VISIBLE point according to it's model?

entity:NearestPoint(vector) does not seem to retrieve nearest VISIBLE point.

Thanks

Is there a way working in both SP and MP to check if a player is in firstperson? I'm trying to use this, but it doesn't work in singleplayer. And yes, I know it's awful code.

function SWEP:IsFirstPerson()
	
	if !IsValid(self) or !self:OwnerIsValid() then return false end
	
	if gamemode.ShouldDrawLocalPlayer and gamemode.ShouldDrawLocalPlayer(self.Owner) then return false end
	
	if !self:IsWeaponVisible() then
		return false
	end
	
	if self.Owner.ShouldDrawLocalPlayer and self.Owner:ShouldDrawLocalPlayer() then
		return false
	end
	
	if !IsValid(self.Owner:GetViewModel()) then return false end
	
	return true
end

Got the first person thing working, but why does this code work in MP and not SP? In SP it returns a seemingly random position in third AND firstperson.

function SWEP:GetMuzzlePos( ignorepos )
	if !IsValid(self.Owner) then return nil end
	local ply=self.Owner
	local fp = self:IsFirstPerson()
	local vm = ply:GetViewModel()
	local obj = 0--vm:LookupAttachment( self.MuzzleAttachment and self.MuzzleAttachment or "1")
	
	if fp then
		obj=self:GetFPMuzzleAttachment()
	else
		obj = self:LookupAttachment( self.MuzzleAttachment and self.MuzzleAttachment or "1")
		if !obj or obj==0 then
			obj = 1
		end
	end
	
	local muzzlepos
	
	if fp then
		local pos = vm:GetPos()
		local ang = vm:GetAngles()
		local rpos = vm:GetRenderOrigin()
		local rang = vm:GetRenderAngles()
		if ignorepos then
			vm:SetPos(ply:GetShootPos())
			vm:SetAngles(ply:EyeAngles())
			vm:SetRenderOrigin(ply:GetShootPos())
			vm:SetRenderAngles(ply:EyeAngles())
		end
		muzzlepos = vm:GetAttachment( obj )
		vm:SetPos(pos)
		vm:SetAngles(ang)
		vm:SetRenderOrigin(rpos)
		vm:SetRenderAngles(rang)
	else
		muzzlepos = self:GetAttachment(obj)
	end
	
	return muzzlepos 
end

In my darkrp server, I have health stations (just the default HL2 ones) and players are able to put them in their pockets. Any way to blacklist that for the pockets?

[James]

[QUOTE=meowking1;47612544]In my darkrp server, I have health stations (just the default HL2 ones) and players are able to put them in their pockets. Any way to blacklist that for the pockets?[/QUOTE]

There's a list like this in settings.lua

[lua]
GM.Config.PocketBlacklist = {
["fadmin_jail"] = true,
["meteor"] = true,
["door"] = true,
["func_"] = true,
["player"] = true,
["beam"] = true,
["worldspawn"] = true,
["env_"] = true,
["path_"] = true,
["prop_physics"] = true,
["money_printer"] = true,
["gunlab"] = true,
}

[/lua]

Simply add your health state entity to that list.

Does anyone know why this gives me a mysqlite error?

[lua]
MySQLite.query("DELETE FROM IF EXISTS darkrp_guns (steam) VALUES ("..steamID..")")
[/lua]

The error:

Do you really think it would be that easy...

local angles = cahTable:GetAngles()
angles:RotateAroundAxis(angles:Up(), 90)

local hitPos = util.IntersectRayWithPlane(LocalPlayer():EyePos(), gui.ScreenToVector(ScrW()/2, ScrH()/2), cahTable:LocalToWorld(cahTable.origin), angles:Up())
local offset = hitPos - cahTable:LocalToWorld(cahTable.origin)
offset:Rotate(Angle(0, -angles.y, 0))
offset:Rotate(Angle(-angles.p, 0, 0))
offset:Rotate(Angle(0, 0, -angles.r))

local cursor = {x = offset.x * (1 / 0.125), y = -(offset.y * (1 / 0.125))}

[I]So yeah, I found a solution after doing some looking around.[/I]
